“Spin Milled 7 grooves plus the popular D and jet-black finishes. Steel-dominant players' wedge; the workhorse of a lot of member bags right now.”

The SM7 launched in 2018 and, per Titleist's own account echoed across coverage, became the most-used wedge on the PGA Tour within three weeks of its introduction. It expanded the fitting matrix to 23 loft, bounce and grind combinations across six sole grinds - F, S and K as full-sole options, M, D and L offering progressive heel-and-toe relief - and refined the progressive CG concept further, pushing CG even lower in the low lofts and higher in the high lofts. Spin Milled grooves were cut to tighter tolerances, adding roughly 100 rpm of average spin versus the SM6. Stock shaft was True Temper Dynamic Gold S200, offered in Tour Chrome, Jet Black and Brushed Steel finishes.

Genuine, widely-reported tour dominance (most-played wedge within three weeks) rather than forum-built mythology; it carries no scarcity or collector angle, having been a mass-market current product quickly superseded by the SM8.

Fitted players across a fairly wide handicap band, since the grind selection does most of the forgiveness work; less suited to someone unwilling to get properly fit into the right grind for their attack angle.

• Became the PGA Tour's most-used wedge within three weeks of its 2018 release, per Titleist and multiple outlets.
• 23 total loft/bounce/grind combinations across six grinds (F, S, K full-sole; M, D, L relief).
• Spin Milled grooves cut to tighter tolerances added roughly 100 rpm more average spin than the SM6.
• Stock shaft was True Temper Dynamic Gold S200; finishes were Tour Chrome, Jet Black, and Brushed Steel.

Bridges the SM6 (2016) and SM8 (2020); rivals of the era included Callaway's Mack Daddy PM Grind, Cleveland's RTX-4, and Ping's Glide 2.0.

Singles typically $45-70 each in 2026, still a commonly-stocked used wedge given how recently it was Tour's dominant model.
